Professional coffee roasting | Roller speed of bean roaster

It is said that baked beans is a combination of rationality and sensibility, science and art. However, when we see the general public discussion on the Internet, most of them focus on the description of experience and feeling, and there is often no physical explanation of the bean roaster itself or the chemical changes of coffee beans at each baking stage. For me, it is painful to know why. Although we can get good results by following the same pattern, without the support of the principle behind it, even if we correct it through constant trial and error, I am worried that it is my own subjective illusion; and with the frequency of baking six to eight pots a month, it is really a long wait to get the right fruit.
For example, the drum speed is currently set at 50 rpm, and then wait for the beans to turn yellow to 55 rpm. Why do you do this? what will happen if the speed is higher or lower? in fact, even after the experiment, I can not immediately draw a conclusion from the flavor and taste. After all, there are too many variables, raw bean / baking / water temperature / method is not absolutely constant, even if drink a small difference is difficult to say who caused it.
The so-called unforgettable thoughts must reverberate. I found an article that mentioned the relationship between speed setting and baking.
1.) The rotational speed is too fast, and the effect of convective heat is reduced because the centrifugal force makes the beans attached to the tube wall and cannot fall.
2.) The speed is too slow, the beans are not stirred enough, and the heat is uneven.
3.) The ideal speed is 75% 90% of (30 / pi) * (g / r) ^ 1 to 2. Pi = 3.14159, g = 9.8m/ s ^ 2, r = drum radius.
4.) The radius of the drum is inversely proportional to the rotational speed. The larger the radius, the slower the rotational speed, but if it is too slow, there may be the problem of uneven mixing.
As pictured above (capture Probat briefing), when the speed is too slow, the leftmost bean will slide to the right and squeeze in the same place, rather than being swung by the drum.
Try to calculate the Cube750 on the hand, the radius of the drum is about 10 cm, and the maximum speed is 94.5 rpm. So the ideal speed is 70-85 rpm. Unexpectedly, it is much higher than the current set value. If the formula is credible, the representative does not have to worry about the centrifugal force, but needs to pay attention to whether the mixing is uniform.
Excerpt from a Scott Rao book chart, drum speed and baking capacity show an inverse relationship, can also prove the above statement.
(updated in 2017 with 08Action10Compact)
Scott Rao's argument for drum speed is to strike a balance between uniform baking and no scorching of beans.
Increasing rotational speed can slightly increase air flow and convective heat transfer.
It is appropriate to reduce the rotational speed when baking in small quantities.
As the bean body expands as the baking goes on, the drum speed can be gradually increased (at this point, you should pay attention to the volume of the beans)
